Actress and comedian Jenny Lorenzo shares DIY approach to success for Latinos in entertainment
Briefly

"I watched a lot of old school television with my parents when I was a kid. And so, a lot of the monologues that I wrote had me play multiple characters."
"I was going to a lot of auditions, and it was frustrating because I was 'not Latina enough.' There was not a lot of representation for people like me, with the exception of shows like 'The George Lopez Show' and '¿Qué Pasa, USA?'"
"The character that I'm most known for playing is Abuela. And she's based on my maternal abuela. There's no greater way to honor someone than to bring them to light in this way."
"Media will always have an impact on humanity and how we treat each other, and it's important to convey those stories that reflect our realities and struggles."
